If the sugar content is too high, it might cause storage mildew and metamorphism. During the spinning process, it might also cause twining and breakage, and lower yarn quality
16、 and production efficiency. Spectrophotometry is used as a quantitative determination method to detect the total sugar content, and 3,5-dihydroxytoluene-sulfuric acid solution is used as the colour developer. This International Standard supplies the basic information for sugar content of cotton fibr

23、4 PrincipleUnder the action of the non-ionic surfactant (fatty acid alkanolamide), sugars in cotton fibres are dissolved in an aqueous solution, then degraded into furfural derivatives in concentrated acid medium (H2SO4). They are later combined with 3,5-dihydroxytoluene to form an orange-yellow com

35、the colorimetric tube preheated to 70 C in a water bath (5.3), and mix them by shaking to form a mixed solution, and again keep the mixed solution at a constant temperature of 70 C for 40 min. Remove the tube from the bath. Subsequently, add further 20 ml of the fatty acid alkanolamide solution (6.6
36、.2) to the mixed solution, mix them by shaking the tube, immediately cool down the resultant solution to room temperature and make it up to the mark with the 0,4 g/l fatty acid alkanolamide solution (6.6.2) and allow it to stand for 5 min to form a final solution. Transfer an appropriate amount of t
37、he final solution into a 1 cm cuvette to form a blank reagent.
